Gifts for men in Switzerland

What to give a man
who already has everything?

Useful ideas for every budget and every type of man: gifts that get used, used up or come back again, instead of ending up in a cupboard.

✔ Ideas from CHF 20✔ Delivery within Switzerland✔ Last-minute options too

A good gift for a man who already has everything is a useful one: something that gets used up, that he uses regularly, that creates an experience or that takes a recurring task off his hands. Vouchers for a restaurant or an activity, good-quality everyday products and subscriptions are therefore a good fit. What works less well: decorative objects, gadgets and anything that takes up space.

Six ideas that really work

Sorted by what they bring the recipient, not by product category.

A subscription

Instead of a single moment, the gift comes back every month. There are subscriptions for coffee, beer, socks, underwear or magazines. Before you buy, check that it ends on its own and does not turn into a paid subscription.

Suits: the man who buys everything himself but neglects the everyday

An experience voucher

A helicopter flight, a driving day, a tasting, a massage. The experience stays in the memory and takes up no space in the flat.

Suits: the man who has enough things

A good-quality everyday product

A razor, a wallet, a belt, a pair of branded socks: things he uses every day and would not replace himself as long as they still more or less work.

Suits: the man who keeps his things too long

Something to use up

Wine, whisky, speciality coffee, spices. It does not pile up and never raises the question of where to put it.

Suits: the man who dislikes bulky gifts

Time spent together

A concert, a match, a weekend. The gift is the date in the diary, not the object.

Suits: a partner, a father, a close friend

A service

Car cleaning, a bike service, help with the cleaning. Less romantic, often the most useful.

Suits: the man who is short of time

How much should you plan to spend?

The amounts reflect what is usual in Switzerland for each type of gift.

Three types, three approaches

The question is not what he likes, but what he does not buy for himself.

The man who already has everything

He buys what he wants, when he wants. What remains: what he never thinks of renewing, and what money cannot buy: time, an experience, regular attention.

The man who is hard to read

Few visible hobbies, few wishes expressed. Here, a useful everyday gift is better than trying to guess his taste.

The man who says he wants nothing

Usually he mainly means: nothing that takes up space and nothing that makes him pretend. Something to use up or a subscription answers exactly that.

Why gifts that get used up work

A man who fulfils his own wishes generally does not need one more object. Products that get used up solve this problem: they are genuinely used, need replacing anyway and do not take up space for good. A subscription turns them into a gift that brings pleasure several times without creating a new obligation, provided it ends on its own.

An underwear subscription as a gift

An UNDY gift subscription runs for 3, 6 or 12 months, ends automatically and creates no further costs.

UNDY is the right fit when the recipient neglects his underwear, which is common. The gift is handed over as a voucher: the recipient chooses his size and start month, then receives a branded item each month from HUGO, BOSS, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, Nike, Adidas or Puma. Delivery is by Swiss Post, straight to the letterbox, with no shipping costs.

A box you can hand over

A box you can hand over

The voucher comes in a sturdy box with a hinged lid, together with a card that you write when you order. Depending on the box you choose, it also contains Lindor chocolate balls, a leather notebook with a pen, or a Bugatti scarf and hat for winter. The box is sent gift-wrapped and arrives by post in two to three working days.

Why a box rather than just a voucher? A printed sheet makes little impression at the moment it is handed over. The box is a gift you hold in your hands on the day itself, and the subscription then continues every month. If time is short, the voucher is ready to print as soon as you order, free of charge and with no waiting.

What people often ask

What to give a man who already has everything?
Something that gets used up, creates an experience or takes a recurring task off his hands. In practice: an experience voucher, a quality consumable or a subscription. What works badly: decorative objects and gadgets.
What is an original gift for a man?
Original does not mean unusual, but unexpected and still useful. A subscription for an everyday need comes across as original because few people think of it, while being used every month.
What gift for a man under CHF 50?
Under CHF 50, consumables, a good-quality everyday product or a short subscription work well. The 3-month UNDY socks subscription costs CHF 39.90 and ends automatically.
Is a subscription a good gift?
Yes, provided it meets a real need and ends on its own. A gift subscription should not renew automatically or require the recipient to cancel it.
What to do when he says he wants nothing?
Most of the time it means: nothing that takes up space. Something to use up, an experience or a subscription meets that wish without adding another object.
What is a useful gift for a man?
A gift he will really use and would have to replace anyway: a good razor, a wallet, quality coffee, branded socks or branded underwear. A subscription turns this everyday need into a gift that comes back every month.
What to give a man for around CHF 100?
A small experience, a durable leather accessory, a good bottle or a three-month subscription. At UNDY, the combined gift subscription, with one pair of branded boxers and one pair of branded socks a month, costs CHF 82.90 for three months and then ends on its own.
